Please rename your original <SIMS2EP7.exe> (located in the folder C:/Program Files/EA GAMES/The Sims 2 FreeTime/TSBin) to <SIMS2EP7.old>. Then, click on the link below or copy and paste it into your web browser. This will open a blank webpage and a File Download window. From the File Download window click Open, extract the new <SIMS2EP7.exe> into the original's folder and re-start the application.
The link for the new file is:

If the problem persists, please send another analysis file of the latest executable to us.

I tried reinstalling it, got the same message, and have since taken it off. When Free Time came out I borrowed a friend's copy just to see if it would work (because I am not paying $30 for something that won't run on my computer) and I GOT THE SAME MESSAGE!
 So will the above mentioned fix work for Bon Voyage as well? Or is it just that I am doomed to never install any Expansion past Seasons on my computer again? |
